Ok, so in theory it would be possible to have a marker in the xml data
that a certain subproject should not be translated.

Maybe not to you and me (though for me it does have a meaning), but
users who are interested in which plugins there are for kdevelop will
now again need to go hunting. In particular those that are not yet
polished and released are important to be findable easily, not everybody
will chime into irc channel and ask for them...

And looking at the current position of those plugins, now its completely
broken. There's no way to easily see that playground/devtools/plugins
contains kdevelop plugins. This needs to be fixed asap.

In the future I suggest to not rush such things in such a way. There's
been hardly _any_ discussion about this here on the list.

I disagree with that, the projects.k.o infrastructure gives us the
possibility to properly group our code in a way that its easily
discoverable. We should use that.

And the website too I guess. But for the latter, I don't see why it
should go to playground. After all its supposed to be stable, useful
etc., it just does not need translations from our i18n team (or am I
wrong there).
